Great comeback by the Rangers. Flyers lose. Rangers now ahead of the Flyers for second place by one point, but the Flyers have an extra two games in hand. The game on Wednesday against the Flyers is the biggest game of the season. If the Rangers win, there is a real chance for 2nd in the Metro.
Huge game tommorrow, win in regulation we would be 3 pts. up and the Flyers would have 2 games in hand...St.La-midget 0 for 11...Dorsett for Carcillo again...why? What an advantage we have over every team with a top 3 d of Girardi, McD and Staal...
Jeff Halpern who couldn't score in 70 games as a Ranger, scores thanks to St.La-midget losing his check in front...
Great character game last night. McD took out the goalie and buried the winner in OT. Give that man a prize
I believe it was Brassard that took out Smith. But nonetheless, Mac, to me, is the clear front runner to captain this team next year. He keeps getting better.
Does Larry Brooks have some kind of an issue with Henrik Lundqvist? "The Rangers and the Garden had become so Henrik Lundqvist-centric over the last few days that you almost expected the team to take the ice on Monday wearing Frolunda jerseys in recognition of the club for which the King had played in the Swedish Elite League. Because the attention focused on Lundqvist for having knocked both Mike Richter and Ed Giacomin — talk about Blueshirt royalty — out of the franchise record book within a week did in truth seem somewhat disproportionate. And the pregame ceremony honoring the goaltender’s twin feat of establishing new standards for both victories and shutouts seemed incongruous with the critical nature of the match against the Coyotes that would immediately follow on the All-Lundqvist TV Network, once known as MSG."
McD and Haggs will be at Play Sports Bar tonight in Staten Island, it's not free you have to pay for autographs and pics. 630-930 I believe.
The odds are 72% that the Rangers play the Flyers in round 1. No easy path to the cup, most likely will have to go through Philadelphia, Boston, Pittsburgh and Anaheim http://www.sportsclubstats.com/NHL/Eastern/Metropolitan/NYRangers.html
He's still pretty young, and he doesn't seem to be the vocal type. The Rangers shouldn't rush it with McDonagh. If he's not ready, give it to Girardi or Staal.
I'd love to go against Philly first round. Would be an epic series of banter down in South Jersey here.
